For the "O" week of the alphabet challenge, this sea otter appears to be clapping, showing his pleasure of being selected. He was photographed in Morro Bay, within "spittin' distance" of Morro Rock.
For the final week of the alphabet challenge, Z is for Zinfandel. I first noticed this display of wine bottles at Costco, and whipped out my cell phone for a quick shot. It wasn't until later, when I had the image on my computer that I noticed the line, "The Seven Deadly Zins" and decided this was my Z week entry for sure. In larger sizes, I saw that the label also displays the deadly "sins" of vanity, greed, sloth, lust, etc. behind the haloed Zs. It seems a fitting ending to this fun challenge. 11/25/18 Judith Sparhawk
For the "L" week of the alphabet challenge, this beautiful lotus blossom was photographed in the extensive lotus beds in Echo Park, Los Angeles.
